Ingredients

  • 1 mango

Instructions

Mango puree from frozen

  • Thaw the frozen mango three ways - either overnight in the fridge; place the sealed bag of mango in a bowl of cold water for about half an hour; or just pop it in a blender about 2 hours before you want to blend and let it thaw.
  • Blend. Place the mango in the blender or food processor and blend until smooth. It may require a bit of water so you can add little by little making sure that it is not too runny.
  • Serve or store for later use.

From fresh mangoes

  • Peel the mango and cut around the pit.
  • Cut the bigger pieces into cubes and place in a blender.
  • Blend. Add a tablespoon of water and keep adding water until you reach the desired consistency.

Notes

  • There are certain blenders that were created just for baby food but we have always used either the inexpensive magic bullet, the Vitamix or a food processor for both our baby foods and every day for our (adult) smoothies.
  • Serving size is just for guidance, but if your baby needs more or less food please follow their cues.
  • Serve on a preloaded spoon given to baby and have 1 spoon for yourself to feed her. See more details in post.
  • Offer mango baby-led weaning and as a puree - that way you know they are getting some food, while they are still able to fully explore the fruit they are eating. For baby-led weaning peel and cut the mango into thin slices. 

How to store mango puree?

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days
  • Freeze in an ice cube tray or small airtight containers up to 3 months
  • To thaw, remove from the ice cube tray and place in a airtight container in the fridge overnight
